Summary

Harry runs away from responsibilities as if they’re Voldemort reincarnated. He’s decided he wants to be free, and the best way to feel that way is to stay alone. That is, until he crashes into Draco Malfoy. After that Harry learns there is freedom in commitment, relief in responsibility and that happiness can only be found if you allow other people to rely on you. He doesn’t once consider the risks.

This is a story about loving someone so much you lose yourself entirely, but also about being loved so much you almost forget about being lost.
